Hey folks. We've been hunkered down in the cold....sometimes getting down in the 30's at night. Espar heater has been keeping the boat at a toasty 70 degrees. Peter and Gale are still in Green Turtle, not sure where Ben and Krystl are right now, big John is back from the Bahamas, coming to check on his boat this week, and has anyone heard from Andrew and Sharon or Aussie Jim?
Bob and Molly have been having a good time on the trail. We were worried that they'd be freezing to death, but they sent an email and said they're having fun. We recently upgraded our batteries to AGM's (absorbant glass mat) and have almost tripled our amp hours. We've got plans to remove and rebed all the portlights on the boat, refurb the binnacle, and we've purchased a new boom vang because our old one had seen it's better days.
Also on the list a leaking drain tube in the anchor locker, servicing the Espar, and all the cushions on the entire boat are pretty much shot, especially now that we're living aboard.
Anyway, all is well in Oriental land....
We miss all of you!
